You can't do more to prove that you know how to run an organization than what Bezos has done.

He would completely understand the relationship between analytics and $$.

He'd create an infrastructure for success (facilities, training, scouting).

There would be no financial constraints for the team.

He would define everyone's responsibilities and measure performance.

He's got a big ego, but he'd most likely be balanced wrt the Commanders, because he has so much else going on.

You never know- but odds are he'd be fantastic.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Though I loathe him as a human being, I cannot deny Bezos' business acumen. As a gov't contractor who works in tech, I would have never thought that Amazon, the e-commerce company that was at some point considered Ebay's little brother, would be at the forefront of cloud infrastructure and VSaaS. Bezos plays 4d chess for real for real.

So yea, everything across the board would be better.

After he buys the WTFs can he then make an aggressive run at the Wiz? Man, what difference between him and Ted the Carnival Barker.

So, hot take. Good for Snyder on this one. Bazos has been going after Snyder for years and if I were Dan I wouldn't let him have his cake and eat it two either. Some one will buy the team. There are plenty of people with money who want to own a team.

The Post has been reporting about Snyder's faults long before Bezos became owner...

President Donald Trump referred to African countries, Haiti and El Salvador as "shithole" nations during a meeting Thursday and asked why the U.S. can't have more immigrants from Norway.

Yeah Snyder is a sack of ****. But, I'm just saying if I have evidence and a strong belief that this man tried to **** me for his own gain and let's be honest, JB ain't above that. I'd **** him right back too.

The Post also negatively reports on Bezos. WAPO is editorially independent from Bezos.

Snyder just has little di… I mean little man syndrome

A. I think the Post was harsher on Bezos prior to him owning it, admittedly can't prove it though

B. I'm getting this gnawing creepy feeling that the Danny ultimately will claim he tried but wasn't able to sell and the team will continue to be mired for years to come--and I REALLY hope I'm wrong--my secondary worry is the next guy is somehow just as bad but in other ways, I'm wondering how long it will take someone to say "at least Danny never _______"

The throd rounder we lost this year doesn't matter cuz it looks like we are due a compensatory pick in the third so that works out.

Interesting. Looks possible Dan may even take the commissioner with him on the way out.
